First Snow

Well...you can tell that I went back to work, because everything else has gone to the wayside...blogging included :) Today was our first real snow-day in Bend, and I'm loving it. This is truly my favorite time of year...but it was a bit hard to get in the spirit without the white stuff. John and I trekked out with Nina and Jack in tow, to cut down our eigth Christamas tree together. It was glorious in Bend this morning...about 6 inches dusted the ground, trees and manzanita bushes. With the full moon last night and sunshine this morning, it is easy to forget about the minor mishaps of everyday life. I hope this finds everyone enjoying their Saturday and a few peaceful moments amidst the chaos.
